Asus Transformer Pad 300

The eight-megapixel camera of the Prime is matched here. Well, almost. There's no flash on the latest tablet. The front facing camera remains at a more-than-decent 1.2MP. As ever, the ergonomics of using a tablet as a camera or camcorder - and this tablet shoots footage at full 1080P resolution - leave a lot to be desired.

The display is also the same as on the Prime, a respectable 1280 x 800 resolution. While it's not a Apple Retina display challenger, it looks good: bright, colourful, detailed and attractive, especially with the standard Asus tree-in-landscape wallpaper. It is not as bright as last year's Prime, though frankly it is more than acceptable in all but bright sunlight. And while the Prime shipped with an earlier version of Google software, this comes packed with Ice Cream Sandwich right out of the box.
